On the face of it, the Royal Navy's AgustaWestland Merlin HM2 looks almost identical to the original variant. Even the keenest aviation enthusiast would struggle to spot the external differences that distinguish the new-generation Merlin HM2 (Mk2) from its predecessor, the HM1 (Mk1) - an extra pitot tube, a tail-mounted GPS antenna, a new light above the cargo door for fast roping, a new access panel for the relocated radar processor, and two SARLS (search and rescue location system) aerials under the nose.
